Abstract: This paper aimed at identifying the factors that influence truck fleets' willingness to purchase alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in China. An investigation was conducted in Jiangsu province to evaluate the truck fleets' characteristics and preferences by structured questionnaire survey of 288 truck fleets. By establishing logistic regression models, this paper analyzed the factors that influence the willingness of truck fleets to purchase AFVs, their purchase time and their acceptable price. Policy recommendations on improving AFVs market based on survey results and current policies in China are proposed. These findings provide significant insights into truck fleets’ demand for AFVs and contribute to the promotion of AFVs implementation in Chinese road freight industry.
